Transformational Leadership is all about transforming your team

Transformational Leadership is all about “transforming” your team. This is done by motivating, and enhancing both the morale and job performance of followers. In my mind, this is the ideal kind of leadership, one where you will inspire others to become both better members of the team as well as better individuals.
